I really enjoyed my time teaching in Alvani. I have many beautiful memories with my family, my students and my friends. I am happy I got to experience such a wonderful country and meet so many amazing people while I was teaching English.

I believe in TLG's mission and I am happy to have participated in a program that has the potential to progress Georgia's future. I recommend TLG to potential volunteers that can "go with the flow" and acclimate quickly to foreign places/situations.

I loved the generosity of my host family and those 'aha!' moments when my students mastered a new concept! My favorite part of the program was having the freedom to plan my own extracurriculars after school. If you're patient, flexible and creative, this is the program for you!

We are preparing for the End of Year Celebrations for our amazing TLG volunteers of 2016-2017. It will happen at the ZP Palace Hotel in Tbilisi, and many esteemed guests will be present. Hope to see you all there.

The training session and teacher conference for Spring of 2017 is finishing today. TLG volunteers, co-teachers, and guests spent a total of 4 days in the lovely resort hotel of Tskaltubo. Photos and links can be found on the Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/TLG2016/

We are in the middle of this semester's monitoring of the volunteers in their schools and host families, to make sure that everyone is gaining the most positive experience possible from their postings.

The January newsletter will be released on the Facebook page at the end of the month. It updates TLGVs on news, cultural information and program announcements. It is available on the TLG Facebook page.
